    New Video: Nicki Minaj – ‘Pound The Alarm’

    Nicki Minaj Pound the Alarm TheLavaLizard

    Nicki Minaj stars in her new video, ‘Pound the Alarm’.

    After weeks of building anticipation caused by several behind the scenes glimpses at her new video for ‘Pound the Alarm’, Nicki Minaj has finally debuted the visual. However, the Pop act wasn’t the only star of the clip; she was joined by Soca music leaders Machel Montano, Bunji Garlin and Fay-Ann Lyons.

    The ‘Pound the Alarm’ video was filmed in Minaj’s native Trinidad, with scenes shot in her hometown of St. James as well as Port of Spain and Maracas Beach. Watch all the colours and lights collide in the production below:

    Of all the songs on Minaj’s ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded’, why did she choose ‘Pound the Alarm’ for the video filmed in Trinidad? Wouldn’t it have been more sensible if she decided to tell the story of her rise to film with ‘Champion’?

    Regardless, the ‘Pound the Alarm’ video is a great production that showcases some of what my country has to offer. Additionally, we should all be thankful that Minaj didn’t only focus on the few ghettos and struggling old men selling coconut water at the Queen’s Park Savannah.

    There is no word regarding if she took any wining classes during her stay in the motherland. Yes, I went there.

    • Guess What

      Plastic fake hoe. She’s probably stiff & corny in bed just like in her videos. Well we can just ask all of Gay Money & her homosexual boyfriend SB.

    • lindsey

      I am going to Trinidad for Carnival damn it!

    • Ugh

      it really makes me sad when i see people like Nicki and rihanna who are from the islands and they can’t wine to save their lives :(
      I like the video. It makes me wanna play mas.

    • Brenden

      No thank you, Khia’s new Pop song “Turn You Out” is wayyyyyyyyyy better. I’ll patiently wait for her new video of that song instead………

    • David

      i love the video and the song is fucking perfect. go nicki nicki. with all these haters, she obviously doing something right !!!!

    • DOMOdotSCORE

      It was cute. I’m patiently waiting Machel’s soca remix, that would be dope.

      Her wine stiff but what can you do? She clearly has not watched your video. Maybe you should do a full wining tutorial just for her and all the other stiff wine children.

    • PinkChamp

      excellent promotion of trinidad in this video nick. Trini and proud. love her beauty and bravery. it takes alot for a female rapper to be able to do both pop and rap and not give a fuck about what anyone has to say about it. i luv and support everything you do nicki.

    • kalybitch

      Her country is honestly really pretty :o , and she’s absolutely gorgeous <33 af

      Ummm…average!

      I’m so tired of people showing the Caribbean as if it’s just one large party island with people that only know how to lime and wine in bright colours, chop coconuts or whip their dreads.

      The song doesn’t go with the video simply because it’s Trinidad, the home of Carnival and Calypso! this is NOT the kind of song people are bringing out their best costumes to party to! She should have filmed it at a European Club!

      I’m not really a fan and glad because I’d be confused as a baby racoon with this kind of music, her strange voices and it’s alleged Hip-Hop status! Still I’m sure we have another Euro-Dance hit in the form of Starships Part 2!

      Nicki: Please next time show a better side of the Caribbean. That we are real countries with functioning governments, financial and political institutions and vast biodiversity! Yes you’re a Pop star, but that shouldn’t stop you from having a meaningful message with your songs!

      Goes to play *Brenda Had a Baby by 2Pac* (joke)
